With the years I learned some rules of behavior on internet, but I wonder if there is some kind of extensive guide for parents who are not experienced with technology.
For example, I don’t think content blockers are a good idea for teenagers. It works for kids, but teenagers will find workarounds because parents were lazy about teaching them the dangers and instead used a spyware app.
Here is a bad written list of some obvious rules:
- Be anonymous
- Use private social media accounts
- Do not tell any personal information
- Use ad blockers
- Learn to recognize ads
- Learn to recognize AI generated text and images
- Learn to recognize scam
- Understand consent
- Learn to prevent blackmail
- Learn to prevent grooming
- Learn how fake pornography is and the unrespectful content
But I wish there was some kind of step by step guide
Step 1) Don’t let kids on the internet.
There is no step 2. The internet is not a place for kids. It’s barely a place for teens, but hopefully you’ve taught teenagers how to behave online by the time they’re 15.
Most of my knowledge including the field I study now, is due to having internet as a kid and its power to learn by yourself
Step 1) Don’t let kids outside
There is no step 2. The outside world is not a place for kids. It’s barely a place for teens, but hopefully you’ve taught teenagers how to behave outside by the time they’re 15.
On point lmao
You don’t teach without experience
